Forums Via RSS?

[personalt]

Is there a way to subsribe to the forums via RSS? I like to check out the new topics on my cell phone on the bus. I know IPBoard supports this but I cant seem to fine a way to subscribe to new topics in the forums I am interested in.

Is there a link for RSS readers?

Only some of the key forums are available through RSS (Sofware Tracker, Articles). There is a Lo-Fi version, the link is at the bottom of the page, which should work really well with your cell phone.

I tried to lo-fi version, only issue is that you cant seem to do 'new posts' from lo-fi. Is there a way to search new posts in lo-fi?

Have you ever thought of adding all the forums to RSS? I think it would drive more traffic to the site. I have bloglines listen to Sagetv and CQC. When I get a free second I pull up blogline and can see all the new topics in one place. I then tag the ones I want to read later. Only the first post appears in RSS so you always get driven to the site if you want to follow the thread.

I assume them is a switch in IPBoard to enable RSS for the other forums? Is there some reason you have it turned off for the other forums?

I had it enabled for a while, but sometimes people would include non-standard characters in their posts, breaking many RSS readers. This was several years ago, and the software has improved a lot, so I'll take another look at this.

I created a new feed showing the new topics:

Let me know if this is what you were looking for.

Close.. with Sage/CQC/AVSForum you get the first post in the feed. Is there a setting for that?

Thanks for your all your help.

This seems to work now. I picked up 3 articles last night which looks about right as this is picking up new threads not any thread with no posts(which makes sense)

I will check out a little further but looks good.

Try now

Dan,

Thanks for opening the RSS feed for new topics. I was about to post with the same question and ran across this post, seems to work fine! You might consider making the RSS option a sticky somewhere...
